I didn't end up as a medieval historian but I vividly remember reading The Carolingians and the Written Word as a first-year in NZ, as almost the first *proper* academic book I'd ever read. Then seeing this elegant, energetic woman seemingly flying around the streets of Cambridge. One of the GREATS.
Lysander: it's been quite a night, sorry #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... Theseus (John Carlisle) & the lovers: Helena (Sarah Crowden), Demetrius (Paul Lacoux), Lysander (Stephen Simms), Hermia (Amanda Bellamy) @the-rsc.bsky.social 1989, dir. John Caird. Decent & seemly night attire!
Bottom: it's been QUITE a NIGHT 👀 #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... I do love this picture of Malcolm Storry as Bottom in the 2005 @the-rsc.bsky.social Dream, dir. Greg Doran (and with a bonus reminder of his donkey state). He was just wonderfully normal and nonplussed.
Quince: where is Bottom? Flute: he IS the show, we can't go on without him!😭 #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... From the 2016 BBC Dream, adapted by the great Russell T. Davies. Adorable Fisayo Akinade as a pensive Flute, and actual Elaine Paige as Quince!
Theseus: you don't hate each other then? Lysander: UM? #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... Theseus might well ask what's been going on 😳 the lovers awake in Michael Hoffman's 1999 film: Helena (Calista Flockhart), Demetrius (Christian Bale), Lysander (Dominic West), Hermia (Anna Friel)
Demetrius: are we awake? Helena/Hermia/Lysander: probably? #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... The lovers @the-rsc.bsky.social 1981 Dream, dir Ron Daniels, des Maria Björnson (*crinolines*). Hermia (Jane Carr), Lysander (Philip Franks), Demetrius (Simon Templeman), Helena (Harriet Walter)
I have not so far seen anyone advance the logical explanation that this is Tybalt's Ghost. www.stuff.co.nz/humour/36099...
Theseus: there will be a TRIPLE WEDDING everyone go and get ready! #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... Hippolyta (Amelia Donkor) and Theseus (Chris Jared) in the @the-rsc.bsky.social / Unicorn family Dream, dir. Rachel Bagshaw & Robin Belfield, playing in Stratford this summer.
Demetrius: not QUITE sure what's happened? but it's HELENA for me! #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... Demetrius (Gavi Singh Chera) and Helena (Romaya Weaver) in the current Globe Dream, dir. Emily Lim. It's a LOVELY show, in rep until late August.
Theseus: what's been going on there then?? #MoonMad www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... Dishevelled lovers awaking in the 2019 @bridgetheatre.bsky.social Dream: Demetrius (Paul Adeyefa) centre stage, with Lysander (Kit Young), Hermia (Isis Hainsworth) & Helena (Tessa Bonham Jones) behind.

The cat can be seen clawing at Romeo’s hair as he lies dead on stage, while Juliet agonises over the loss of her lover.

Rosamond McKitterick (1949-2026) A formidable scholar, an inspiring teacher, a generous spirit and a supportive colleague - truly, we have lost one of the great ones. @sidneysussex.bsky.social @camhistory.bsky.social @camedieval.bsky.social
